I don't know that it's something that we should be doing apropos of nothing but if people have done updates and they're not unreasonbly complicated to review it does seem useful to integrate them to avoid duplicated work. There have been some issues with that around the ID registers (which are going to be on the places most prone to this I guess). [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
